Materials
Olive Canvas
Incredibly tough, weather-resistant olive 24oz canvas, with a smart tan leather trim. A durable bag that’s made to withstand life on the road, the Explorer holdall in olive and tan is our most iconic colourway and has been seen held by some very famous hands.
Claret Canvas
Weather-proof, dry-waxed 24oz canvas in rich claret, with dark brown bridle leather trim. A resilient fabric that’s full of character, our Claret Waxed Canvas Explorer, which is extremely weather-resistant, will absorb the bumps and knocks of everyday life, developing a unique pattern, and making your bag uniquely yours.
Safari Canvas
The quintessential safari luggage: classic sand-toned weather-resistant 24oz canvas with our super-rugged, distressed Aztec Crazyhorse leather trim. We’ve added leather corner reinforcements for even greater durability, giving you a bag that’s robust, light-weight and wonderfully stylish.
Sundance Floodlight
Sober and sophisticated, our Sundance Floodlight leather is aniline-dyed with a high wax content that shows off the natural grain beautifully. The Sundance Floodlight Explorer starts life with a matt finish and develops a gentle sheen over time, standing up to the toughest challenges with style.
Tan Atlantic
The Explorer holdall in our softly glossy Tan Atlantic leather: a popular choice and it’s not hard to see why. Rich and warm, this premium full-grain leather withstands the rigours of travel, and ages wonderfully – the perfect travelling companion for wherever the road takes you.
Utility
Explorer’s Story
We first developed the Explorer holdall as a lightweight fabric travel bag with sturdy leather handles and accents. Little did we know it would become a runaway favourite with our customers! We’ve expanded the range to encompass a number of all-leather versions, in addition to our original canvas-leather configurations.
Our canvas is no less robust than our leather though, we even once heard from a customer who’s canvas Explorer fell from a helicopter (whilst it was airborne) and suffered no damage at all from its fall to earth.
Bespoke & Personalisation
Every TUSTING bag is hand-crafted by experts in our Lavendon workshop, which gives us a lot of flexibility in the final results. To find out how we can customise the Explorer holdall to suit your individual requirements, please contact us.
